Premium Coffee Company Selects Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle’s Value Chain Planning over Solutions from SAP and Infor
COLLABORATE ‘11, ORLANDO, FL – April 13, 2011
News Facts
Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA (www.mzb-usa.com/) , one of the nation’s largest coffee roasters with nationally recognized retail brands including Chock full o’Nuts® and Hills Bros.®, has standardized on Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/jd-edwards-enterpriseone/index.html) and Oracle Demantra Demand Management, part of Oracle’s Value Chain Planning (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/planning/052838.html) solution, to support its growing business.
To streamline operations and enhance financial performance, Massimo Zanetti needed better visibility and control of its distribution lifecycle, and improved demand planning.
After a competitive review of vendors including SAP and Infor, Massimo Zanetti selected Oracle to replace its heavily customized legacy ERP platform and disparate point solutions.
By implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle Demantra, Massimo Zanetti is able to leverage a single, scalable platform that delivers user-friendly financial management, trade promotions management and enhanced forecasting capabilities.
Completed on time and on budget with help from Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Gold partner BRIJ and OPN Platinum partner MetaChain, the technology transformation included JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/jd-edwards-enterpriseone/index.html) and Oracle Demand Management - Oracle Demantra 7.3 (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/planning/061918.html) Demand Management (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/planning/053289.html) , Predictive Trade Planning and Trade Promotion Optimization (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/planning/053292.html) .
By consolidating processes critical to its consumer packaged goods business on Oracle software, Massimo Zanetti eliminated the entire cost of maintaining and hosting more than 50 pieces of standalone software, reaching savings of more than 20 percent.
The new integrated planning environment has also enabled Massimo Zanetti to minimize excess inventory.
In addition, by standardizing on a single planning tool, users now have real-time access to valuable data through an easy-to-use self-service environment, which helps them improve forecasting accuracy and decision making.
With enhanced planning capabilities and streamlined operations, Massimo Zanetti has strengthened its ability to deliver superior value to its customers.
